"Audience
Associates" is an agency much like "Audiences
Unlimited" - it distributes free tickets to live tapings of TV
shows.

"Audiences Unlimited" seems to have a larger
operation going, with a wider selection of show tickets available, but
this smaller outlet seems to be picking up steam and emphasizes game shows
and talk shows, in addition to sitcoms. As well as a chance to appear in
big movie crowd scenes.

You
can get ticketshere for shows such as "The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno," "The New
Price is Right," (withDrew Carrey),
"Let's Make a Deal" (with Wayne Brady),
Craig Ferguson's "Late Late
Show", "Deal Or No Deal" (with Howie Mandell),
"Jeopardy", "I Hate My Teenage Daughter " "Rules of Engagement", "Wheel of Fortune", "Bill Maher
Live" & "Dr. Phil".

Both companies have websites where you can order
your tickets, and both allow you to print out tickets online.

But
if you prefer the phone to the Web, the two different agencies have different
ways of giving out information about the shows over the phone. When you
phone "Audiences Unlimited " you reach a 24-hour recording which
lists the shows for which tickets are available. There is no recording
at "Audiences Associates "; you reach an actual person, tell
him one or two dates when you would like to see a show, and he'll tell
you what shows are available for those dates.

Getting
there: The Audience Associates office
is located near the corner of Melrose Avenue & Gardner Street (near
Tommy Tang's restaurant), in the center of the hip Melrose shopping district.
It's between Fairfax (on the west) and La Brea (on the east). /

From Hollywood & Vine, go south on Vine
Street (about a mile and a quarter) to Melrose Avenue. Turn right (west)
on Melrose, and go a mile and a half west to Gardner Street.
